Y2k and Germany... some posts and websites that contain interesting information... you have to know a bit of German though ;-)
Subject 23012

Recent German Y2k press articles:
braunschweig.ihk.de

First German Y2k Preparation site that I have seen so far:
aktion-umweltbildung.de

'München (dpa) - Das Datumsproblem der Computer zum Jahrtausendwechsel wurde bisher in Deutschland noch nicht ernst genug genommen. Manche Unternehmen kümmerten sich erst jetzt unter dem Zeitdruck von nur noch knapp elf Monaten darum, ihre Computer für das Jahr 2000 vorzubereiten, sagte IBM-Experte Bernd Doetsch in einem dpa-Gespräch in München.
'
Translation roughly:
'....Until now the Y2k problem was not taken seriously in Germany....some companies only have 11 months left... according to an IBM expert.'

Other interesting site
zeitbombe-jahr2000.de :
'Y2k important topic on the Cebit computer show of 1999'
